RE: Is it about the DEER, the RACK, or BOTH ?
For me it would depend on which farm I'm hunting. On one I'd be fairly certain that if I let him walk, he'd make it through the year and I'd have a good chance at him the next season. If it were on the other, that confidence factor would go way down due to other local pressure and gun season being open. I'd have to think on it more at the time, but like to think I would have the discipline to let it walk.
